"PeaceBuilders is a community based program launched in schools that shifts the entire school climate to a peaceful, productive and safe place for faculty and students. PeaceBuilders effects risk factors which predict violence, bullying, drugs, tobacco, etc. PeaceBuilders builds and reinforces protective factors. These factors improve academic achievement, positive social skills and helps build character through easily implemented research based proven tools."

This year at St. Mary-Basha Catholic School, we are instituting the PeaceBuilders Program as we work to build a Peace-Filled future.  Each morning at Morning Prayer, we will recite the PeaceBuilders Pledge:

I am a PeaceBuilder.  I pledge to praise people, to give up put downs, to seek wise people as advisors and friends, to notice the hurts I have caused and make amends, and to right wrongs.  I will build peace at home, at school and in my community each day.

Please join us as we work to make our school environment more peaceful.
